I bring this up after posting an ID help thread about my BSA Sticker Shocks. They were verified as being such. BUT, only after being mistaken for a few other things, or folks not knowing what they were, even. The photo of the darker colony is in my tank and came from the exact colony as the other photo that I took in a friend's tank the other day.
The polyps in direct light (fairly high in my tank) are obviously darker and have almost completely lost their pattern, yet the polyps on the side still have some pattern to them, though they are still dark. The polyps from my friends tank has less direct and intense of lighting. They are a lighter color and have a considerable amount more black pattern to them. Neither of the photos are corrected or enhanced. Just plain snap on filter on a phone.
That brings me to my question. Except for reverse halls, sticker shock, and mohicans, does anybody know of another zoa that varies as much as these? Photos would also be great!
Happy Reefing!
